Product Description

Four children discover an ancient book with magical powers that leads them on a quest to save Christmas. With the atmosphere of Narnia, the comedy of The Grinch, and the fantasy of The Box of Delights, The Jingle Book is a tale of adventure, goodwill, and the magic of Christmas.

Piper, Jem, Mina, and Kai find an extraordinary old book at their local Christmas Fair. It seems to be sending them messages, and they discover that it is guiding them on a journey to return the book to its rightful owner.

But who does the book belong to? Why is it so important? And who is the horrible Jagger Spitz, who will stop at nothing to thwart the children on their quest?

Contains 25 speaking roles with an ideal cast size of 37 (or minimum cast size 27) with any number of chorus parts. Easy to stage with no problem props (see PDF "Production Notes" in Samples section below for more details).

Separate CDs of vocal and backing tracks (with essential sound effects) and Full Performance piano score also available. A magical Christmas fantasy for Key Stage 2 (ages 7 to 11).

A BRAND NEW product called Sing it! is now also available to accompany The Jingle Book, the ultimate time-saving tool for teaching songs! Say goodbye to the stress of teaching songs - Sing it! does all the work for you! This essential resource makes learning songs effortless and fun for children, whether they're at school or at home. Imagine the time you'll save! Most schools use Sing it! on an interactive whiteboard in the classroom or on a projector in the hall for full cast rehearsals. It's foolproof, engaging, and best of all - kids absolutely LOVE it!

Also now available is Learn it!, an "Audio Book" style read-through of the entire show performed by professional voice actors. It teaches each child their lines, when to perform them and most importantly, HOW to perform them. The copy and repeat method is simply the best and quickest way to learn. An essential product for SEND cast members. Have a listen to a sample of the Learn it! standard Audio CD product in the "Contents/Songlist" section below.

NEW! A CD-ROM of Backdrops is also available, which contains instant scenery with digital backdrops supplied in both a PowerPoint presentation and as individual JPG files. No more scenery painting! These images may be projected onto a screen or wall at the back of your stage or hand them to a local printer to print onto large boards or sheets in order to create your stage backdrops. They're also useful to print off for cast and stage crew to familiarise themselves with the sets and scene changes. The CD-ROM of Backdrops contains a different backdrop for every scene change.
